[quote=flu]Doing my taxes over the weekend, I was looking over things I need to report and had to open up my file cabinet stuffed with statements from all the years. I only open this cabinet around this time of year….
Digging through the cabinet, I stumbled across an old relic…My very first paycheck I earned as a full time engineer, from my very first job.. Lol….
….Then digging further, I found my first offer letter …Qualcomm. Engineer (I)… Starting paying $38,500. With a “generous sign on bonus of $2,500….Then there was, the selling points of why I should live in San Diego…
I remember when I first started out, I bought this file cabinet from Staples in Mira Mesa, along with a white couch and twin bed from them Robinson May Company in UTC… The couch, bed, and file cabinet, went with me wherever i relocated…up to the bay area and back and forth..
In all, the file cabinet has been every place that I lived, accumulating more and more statements as the years progress
…Digging through one of the drawers this evening, I realized I have so much crap in this drawer….And then it hits me…
Holy Sh***… I’m almost 40….I’ve been working for almost 18 years… I’m old, dude……[/quote]
it’s interesting to look at old docs. wouldn’t it be fun to see your dad’s first tax returns? i keep thinkgs i think might be interesting ina box. maybe some offspring, or offsprings offspring might someday be intrigued.
